MAUNDY THURSDAY
A full moon at position 10.
Was there such that sorrowful e'en?
Did God shine down on Son with moon
So full the earth that day did swoon?
That sorrowful e'en of Christ's commit'ent,
To purge man's sin in full... – by Douglas Noel | 15 Views added 4 years ago

LIFE
All of us are given life-
And a space in which to live it.
There’s a botta poured out for you

I Walk in a Song
I walk in a song,
But there’s no music,
It’s in my mind.
Blue skies, birds,
The Yellow Sea;
Blessings of mine.
Fountains and waterfalls,
Cuckoo Birds,
And textured rocks.

FIRE ISLAND
Walking the dunes,
Picking up stones,
Seashells are not my forte’.
Those I see are pretty, but, common
Dear Lessie reminds me.
She sees shells I don’t.

Soft and supple
Hard and hairy
Juicy dripping
Gently gripping
Red and swollen
Rebirth succulent

Banging slow

10,000 feet and I see clearly defined homesteads, roads, and even people walking about.
20,000 feet and it’s patterns and lights, large moving vehicles.

Relative to nothing,
Your blue eyes illuminate
Your facial radiance
Crowned with flaming red vistas.
Freckles like sparkling stars,
Mammaliar perfection,
And I my eyes must avert?
Et impossible madame.

Sitting of the front porch at midnight
In perfectly cool calm weather
With a full moon
And star-filled blue skies.

And a whip-poor-will in the distance
Only occasionally a sound of a human;
